After this wild bushy stretch I had to do Late HST to keep them tops from burning

~ WEDDING CHEESECAKE FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "A delight for the mind and body: Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast-Flowering) is a delicious strain that offers XXL yields in a 7-8 weeks flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads and loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terps with hints of citrus and cinnamon. In addition to its delicious aromas, this variety grows very well in both indoor and outdoor setups, yielding up to 650 g/m2 without extra maintenance, making it the ideal strain for beginners as it allows you to maximize yields while minimizing work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects that are perfect for consumers looking for a heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. It’s the ideal strain for those needing that extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot. Wedding Cheesecake FF boasts chunky, large-sized buds with a thick layer of silvery-white resin and bright orange hairs scattered all over: that just screams ‘quality’. The lime-green flowers sparkle with an array of hues ranging from dark to light green, to magenta and purple, and reek of a delicious aroma that’ll remind you of fresh store-bought cheesecake. This is an XXL hybrid that grows extremely tall in height, reaching up to 3m with one huge main cola and multiple long side branches that can withstand enormous yields of up to 650 g/m2 with ease. Wedding Cheesecake FF is extremely resilient to the elements and can be grown in almost every climate as long as you’ve got the space and basics covered, making her an excellent choice for those looking for large-scale harvests with a quick turnaround time without much effort." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Wedding Cheesecake FF indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 6/26- Can you believe that it is now Week Thirteen since breaking ground for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower??? This lady has turned into a genuine beast of a plant and continues to remain healthy with great color and vigor! 6/28- Our weather is HOT now with heat indexes over 100℉ so I'm watering the Wedding Cheesecake FF every day with 5-8g of straight well water from the garden hose in the late afternoon once the plant is in the shade. Other than the ever present leaf hoppers, which love the leaves but leave the flowers alone, and an occasional Japanese Beetle there aren't any serious pest issues currently. The Wedding Cheesecake FF continues to have excellent color and vigor and continues to add vertical growth! 6/30- The weather continues to be hot and humid and the daily watering continues. I also removed a few shade leaves that were below the canopy, as well as some in the middle of the plant that were blocking a lot of light to new shoots. 7/2- Thirteen weeks of veg behind her now, the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower is on her way to stardom... see you next week!🤩 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Browning of leaves slowed down loving the extra phosphorus and potassium

The germination i forgot to take pictures so i just have a video of the first 3 strains i started before the other seeds arrived. I used the same metod for all of them 24h in the glass of water after that 48h in the cotton pads in the zip lock bag with 3 sprays of water on the cotton pads and 1 spray when inside the zip lock bag is closed untill 80% leaving a small gap for them to breath. I decided to plant them after that in the final resting pot for this strain in a 5 gallon fabric pot. I used the following media on the bottom of the fabric pot i used 10% of Goldlabel HydroCorn after filled up with Ecothirve coco (70% coco 30% perelite) and i made a hole for my potting soil where i used Advanced Nutrients coco cultivator (50% coco 30% perelite 20% pebbles) and i mixed on the media some Azos , Mykos and Great white. The light schedule for the first 5 days was 24/0 and after that i change for 18/06 schedule. Just water the plants on the 15/06 i think all my seedlings are stuned because my light is too strong for them and the light is dimed to 25% waiting on my new seedling light the Spider Farmer SF1000EVO LED should arrive just on wednesday. And my light meter for lux is saying i have 8600Lux converted is 148 and my dli on meter from the phone is saying 150 so its 3x times more the recomended i just dont understand if this phone app is working correctly. Update on the order from spider farmer from Ebay (Order the item on a thursday and the order was not updated on ebay on the following Monday so decided to contact them to understand when i am gonna receive my order i was told true ebay that my item as been shipped and i will receive an update within 1 hour to tell what time the item will be delivered. So never received any message giving my time slot delivery. Never received the item and at 21pm the tracking updeted on Ebay saying delivered so i contected them next day to be told that the courrier actually lost my order and that they will reshippe the order again but was told i need to wait 2 buiness days for the warehouse to processe my order beacuse they are busy what i replied that why should be me the costumer that needs to wait 5 or 6 more days for the order to arrive to me that they should send me the item on the same day and send me with one day delivery. The ansewer was they could not do it so i cancell the order asked for a refund and never more use their products appailing costumer service)

They are huge. I think I will start doing defoliation 2 times per week. PH 5,5 - 5,7 EC 2,50 - 2,75 See you next week guys!

Harvested 3 plants of Strawberry Cheesecake and 2 of Amnesia. This is the last one from 1st grow. I planted it 2weeks later as the original plant didn’t survive. Avoided some basic mistakes and the buds on this one are huge. All plant is covered in crazy amount of sugarlefs. Now in flush...some time next week chopping it down and moving on to next grow.

2cm vertical growth this week.

Day 35 and things are moving along fantastic and all the girls are very happy.I typically wouldn’t run so many different strains in one tent but Fast Buds genetics are very versatile.I can already tell these girls will have strong,amazing buds in the upcoming weeks into Christmas 🎄😊

So I decided to drop a berry cookie into DWC for ol time sake. Trying to squeeze one more grow in before the summer. Anyways she's been in her basket for a week now and she seems to be digging it so far. No roots showing yet but she's young yet. New growth coming in for sure so the roots are definitely growing just a long the basket and the clay pebbles. Probably getting adequate water for now but I'm sure by next week we'll be seeing some nice beautiful white roots!

Harvested to plant + wet trimmed… Now drying for the next Week, then curing… :) Will come back with the results!

-Clones have been transplanted into 3.5" pots. The sixth plant eventually rooted however it was the smallest, was a backup, so I did not bother to transplant it. -Megacrop amounts above are actually g/gal, not tsp/gal. I do wish Grow Diaries would add mass for us dry soluble nutrient addicts. -Mother is doing fine, I took a second set of cuttings off her for a local buddy who would like to grow her out as well. -The mother has also given me a good idea of what to expect later on in veg when I begin training. -Grow will eventually be planted in 5-gal fabric pots then moved to a 4x4 tent w/ Autopots and a 650w 3000K LED Bars for further training and flowering. -I intend on offsetting the transplants, bending the girls over for LST, and eventually train under a scrog net in the flower tent. The mother seems to support this training as that is what I did with her to reduce height yet maximize the number of cuttings I could harvest quickly.

Week 9 Day 5 Bloom now 48h darkness

🇩🇪 GrowDiaries – Wochenkommentar Diese Woche hat sich meine Cherry Limeade großartig entwickelt 🌱. Es fühlt sich tatsächlich so an, als wäre plötzlich ein Schalter umgelegt worden. Das Wachstum ist jetzt kräftig und gleichmäßig, die Pflanze wirkt rundum gesund und zeigt weder Mangelerscheinungen noch die zuvor vorhandene Taco-Bildung der Blätter 💚. Am Sonntag habe ich sie getoppt ✂️ und ihr anschließend bis Donnerstag komplett ihre Ruhe gelassen, damit sie sich erholen kann. Seitdem läuft das Low Stress Training. Mit Drahtankern ziehe ich die Triebe vorsichtig nach außen, um eine möglichst breite und gleichmäßige Pflanzenstruktur aufzubauen 🌿. Die Positionen der Drahtanker passe ich täglich an, damit alle Triebe optimal Licht erhalten ☀️. Endlich habe ich auch die perfekte Einstellung für die vier Maxi-Blumat-Tropfer gefunden 💧. Das System hält die Saugspannung nun konstant zwischen 90 und 100 mbar, genau dort, wo ich sie haben möchte. Das gibt mir ein richtig gutes Gefühl – besonders, weil ich nächste Woche vier Tage beruflich unterwegs bin. Ohne ein zuverlässig eingestelltes Blumat-System hätte ich jetzt ein echtes Problem. So kann ich ganz entspannt verreisen 😌. Auch das Cover Crop wird langsam weniger 🌾. Ich schneide es mittlerweile fast täglich zurück, damit vor der Einleitung der Blüte nur noch wenig davon übrig ist. Langsam aber sicher gewinne ich diesen Kampf 💪. Das Gleiche gilt für die Trauermücken ?. Gestern habe ich 6.000 Hypoaspis miles ins Beet ausgebracht und abends, kurz vor dem Ausschalten der Beleuchtung, zusätzlich 3 Millionen SF-Nematoden gegossen. In einer Woche folgt eine zweite Behandlung mit weiteren 3 Millionen SF-Nematoden. Hoffentlich ist das dann das endgültige Aus für die Trauermücken 🎯. Ansonsten werde ich die Pflanze jetzt einfach weiter trainieren und in Ruhe wachsen lassen 🌱. Auf Komposttee oder Fermente verzichte ich bewusst, denn im Living Soil sollten mehr als genügend Nährstoffe vorhanden sein 🌍. Im Moment bin ich mit der gesamten Entwicklung mehr als zufrieden und freue mich riesig auf die kommenden Wochen 🚀. 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: 💡 Licht: 400 PPFD (18/6, Stufe 3, 40 cm Abstand) 🌡️ Temperatur: 27 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 72 % 📈 VPD: 1,0 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Ø 670 ppm 💦 Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 90 mbar 🇬🇧 GrowDiaries – Weekly Update This week my Cherry Limeade has developed amazingly well 🌱. It honestly feels like someone flipped a switch. The growth is now strong and steady, the plant looks very healthy, and there are no signs of nutrient deficiencies or the taco-shaped leaves I had before 💚. I topped her on Sunday ✂️ and then left her completely alone until Thursday to allow her to recover. Since then, I have started low stress training. Using wire anchors, I gently pull the branches outward to create a wider and more even plant structure 🌿. I adjust the position of the wire anchors every day to make sure all shoots receive optimal light exposure ☀️. I finally found the perfect setting for my four Maxi Blumat drippers 💧. The system now keeps the soil suction tension consistently between 90 and 100 mbar, exactly where I want it. This gives me a lot of confidence – especially because I will be away on a four-day business trip next week. Without a properly dialed-in Blumat system, this would have been a real problem. Now I can leave home completely relaxed 😌. The cover crop is slowly disappearing as well 🌾. I am cutting it back almost every day so that most of it will be gone before I start flowering. Little by little, I am winning this battle 💪. The same goes for the fungus gnats ?. Yesterday I released 6,000 Hypoaspis miles into the bed and, in the evening just before lights out, I watered in 3 million SF nematodes. In one week, I will repeat the treatment with another 3 million SF nematodes. Hopefully, this will finally bring the fungus gnats under control 🎯. Apart from training, I will leave the plant alone and let her grow naturally 🌱. I will not use any compost tea or ferments for now, because the Living Soil should already contain more than enough nutrients 🌍. At the moment, I am extremely happy with the development and I am really looking forward to the next few weeks 🚀. 📊 Current Parameters: 💡 Light: 400 PPFD (18/6, Level 3, 40 cm distance) 🌡️ Temperature: 27 °C 💧 Humidity: 72 % 📈 VPD: 1.0 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Avg. 670 ppm 💦 Soil moisture: 90 mbar

Wow I can say she is doing great have done a lot of defoliation on her also have done lolipoping to get more energy to the top buds this my 1st time trying it let see how she does. Feed 8th week chart mix with my fox farm will continue on the chart schedule haven’t tried the sledgehammer yet but before the end of flower I will. Will start to post videos of the grow from now on also of course tons of more pics. Day time temp 74-76 and RH is around 50-56%.

She’s fat and happy! Every other day I’ll bring her out and move the hooks to keep her flat. String each cola to the pot once they hit the sides. Feeding her right at 1/3 gallon twice a week. And watering now on two off days. Thirsty is happy in my book. Still 2 1/2 weeks from the flip. Prob 3. Till next week.

This week was nice. Really beautiful hues coming through, great structure , no f ups. The smellsAre amazing. I have started the ripener and cut back on nutrients - after heavy calmag week before and full feed. Aim to do this all this week ready for the flush week

Growth Stage: Transition / Pre-Flower Environment: Temperature: ~25–26 °C Humidity: ~60–62 % RH Light intensity: increased to ~500 PPFD Watering / Feeding: Plants were watered with plain water + CalMag during this week. No base nutrients were added, as the focus was on keeping stress low during the transition into flowering. Observations: Week 3 marked the start of pre-flowering for both Apricot Autos. Apricot Auto #1 showed the first white pistils about one day after the Amnesia, clearly indicating the transition into flower. Growth looks stable, and the plant continues to improve compared to the earlier weeks. Apricot Auto #2 entered pre-flower about one day after #1. While still noticeably smaller and less developed, it also showed clear signs of flowering and continued growing steadily. The transition into flower felt slightly early for the Apricots, but the decision was made to let them run naturally without any intervention. Training / Work Done: No training or manipulation was done this week. The plants were left untouched to avoid unnecessary stress during the transition phase. Notes: Week 3 was mainly about observation and stability. Both Apricot Autos successfully entered pre-flower and are now preparing for the upcoming stretch and early flowering phase.
